Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device that has been specially designed to simultaneously measure certain anatomical parameters in pets, e.g. dogs, said parameters being the animal's weigh, height and length.
  • the object of the invention is to quickly, simply and precisely obtain the value of said parameters in order to verify whether the animal is overweight and whether young animals are developing properly and to diagnose and assess a predisposition to suffer different chronic diseases with or without obesity and to monitor the response to the therapeutic and control processes of the established treatment.
  • the possibility of combining these parameters in a single clinical action makes the task easier, simplifying it by increasing the patient and owners' collaboration.
  • a dysfunction or imbalance between these parameters is widely known to signify a risk factor that affects the animal's state of health and is a very common factor in chronic diseases such as: disorders of the musculoskeletal system, heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, stroke and some types of cancer.
  • Chronic diseases such as: disorders of the musculoskeletal system, heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, stroke and some types of cancer.
  • Evidence suggests that this imbalance between height, length and weight involves a disorder resulting from various different factors: genetic, environmental, psychological or family factors, among others, which must be regularly controlled by processes that enable us to obtain the largest amount of information possible in a minimal number of actions, the process making it possible to interrelate the information obtained from the examination.
  • European Patent with publication number EP 1452132 belonging to Kasahara Isiokawa, discloses a method for determining weight and impedance and using these values to calculate the body fat percentage and body water percentage in order to assess the animal's state of health, a method wherein the animal's body measurements, i.e. it's length or height, are obviously not used.
  • US 2005/155246 Al discloses an apparatus for measuring weight, height and/or length, comprising an electronic weighing measuring unit, a laser measuring instrument, and a microcomputer so as to obtain the height based on the distance signal detected by the height detector, the laser measuring instrument having means for regulating its position and the direction of the emitted laser beam.
  • JP 10 005193 which comprises a mount board 1 supported on a base 3 via a load cell 2 and a rear material 6 erected on the rear side of the base 4 via a hinge 5.
  • An eaves part 7 extending horizontally is linked with the top part of the rear material 6 and a laser oscillator and a receive 8 are installed downward in a position just above the centre of the mount board 1 of the eaves part 7.
  • the stature is measured by the time difference in receiving the reflection wave of the laser from the laser oscillator, and the maximum value of the measured values is selected, set to the stature measuring value, and displayed on the display part 12.
  • the device proposed by the invention fills this gap in the prior art, making it possible to simultaneously weigh the animal using the conventional electronic method, and at the same time measure its height and length from its head to its rear end, using a laser measuring instrument for the latter two parameters.
  • Both weighing and measuring systems are non-invasive and thus bloodless, and they can be linked to each other by computer processing so that, together with the animal's body mass, it is also possible to obtain the parameters either separately or duly interrelated.
  • the data obtained can therefore be used to compare with standard ideal data to be found in the literature for the animal species in question, as well as the breed, sex and other parameters, which enables us to establish a relationship that in turn makes it possible, by comparison with what is considered normal, to detect any anomaly, thus making this another tool with which to monitor a pet's general health.
  • a first aspect of the invention relates to a device that takes the form of a weighing platform, of a suitable size for the type of animal for which it is to be used, and a support for the laser measuring instrument, which allows said measuring instrument to be moved both vertically and transversally, whilst it can also be rotated to change the direction of the laser beam, so that by means of this multiple mobility of the laser measuring instrument the laser beam can be made to fall on any point of the animal's body in order to make the necessary measurements, e.g. between the ground and its withers, between its head and its tail, etc.
  • the laser measuring instrument is positioned laterally in relation to the weighing platform, i.e. in relation to the animal's body, although said laser measuring instrument can also be situated in an upper position, i.e. over the weighing platform and above the animal.
  • a sheet of treated glass is situated between the laser measuring instrument and the animal, which allows the laser beam to pass through, causing a refraction effect thereon so that the measurements is taken on said sheet of treated glass at the points where the refracted laser beam is horizontal or vertical, as applicable, and passes through the point to be measured. This is achieved by moving the laser measuring instrument as appropriate until the angle of refraction is at 90° to the plane of the sheet of treated glass.
  • the weighing platform is suitably delimited by two side walls or by one wall and by said sheet of treated glass in order to limit the area in which the animal must be situated while the measurements are taken, with a sufficient degree of clearance.
  • the above-described structure works with a computer program that uses the information supplied by the weighing platform and the laser measuring instrument to perform the necessary calculations and comparisons in order to achieve a diagnosis, in particular the following:
  • the device proposed by the invention consists of an electronic weighing platform (1) of suitable dimensions to fit the dog (2) or animal whose parameters are to be measured, said platform (1) being surrounded in this case by a fixed wall (3) and by the sheet of treated glass (4), as can be seen in figure 2 , a laser measuring instrument (5) laterally situated in relation to said sheet of treated glass (4) and opposite the animal (2) capable of moving transversally on a horizontal guide rail (6), it also being possible for said laser measuring instrument to tilt so that the laser beam (8) may be pointed in any direction that is required, as is shown by the arrow (9) in either of figures 1 or 2 .
  • the purpose of the sheet of treated glass (4) is that when the laser beam (8) falls thereon, its path will be changed due to refraction, so that the end section (8') of said laser beam (8) is horizontal and aligned with the points of the animal (2) at which it is to be measured, e.g. at its head (10), its tail (11), or the free end of its legs (12), i.e. at floor level.
  • Figure 1 shows the laser beams generated by the measuring instrument (5) to determine the length of the dog's body, i.e. the distance between its head and its tail, whilst in figure 2 the same is done to determine its height.
  • the laser measuring instrument (5) it is also possible, as is shown in figures 3 and 4 , for the laser measuring instrument (5) to be situated above the weighing platform (1), i.e. above the animal, in which case said laser measuring instrument can only be moved transversally along a longitudinal guide rail (13), the sheet of treated glass (4) being situated in this case between the animal and the laser measuring instrument, and between the animal and the laser measuring instrument, and in this case it being the sheet of treated glass (4) whose height can be adjusted, as is shown by the arrow (14) in figure 4 , rather than the laser measuring instrument's, as in the previous case.
